Mr. Chair, I will start talking—
Evidence of meeting #131 for Health in the 42nd Parliament, 1st session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was witnesses.
A recording is available from Parliament.

We've had some interesting conversations. No one is against the motion. We do want to put forward a really good motion. Hopefully what I am going to....
Mr. Davies, I hope you can hear me as you're moving back.
Winnipeg Centre, Lib.
I'm going to make what is hopefully a friendly amendment.
To the analysts, I'm not sure what standing order I should use. If we undertake a study, what standing order would that be? It would be pursuant to standing order X that the committee pursue a study, perhaps for another two additional sessions, determined by whomever, inviting a number of witnesses to be determined and submitted by the parties, that looks at evidence with respect to the forced sterilization of women in Canada.

It's Ms. McLeod's, is it not? Do you care if it's your amendment or his amendment?

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey
You don't care? All right, if you'll withdraw your amendment, that will allow his to go ahead.
(Amendment withdrawn)
It sounds like the same thing, is it not?

Okay, that is different.
Now we have a motion and we have an amendment.

It's an amendment to your motion.
I'm going to call a vote on the amendment by Mr. Ouellette to the motion.

Now we go to the motion.

I have one thing to say. Given your comments about how important it was that there be a report and a recommendation, I think you would have to add, as a matter of form, “that a report be issued with recommendations to the House”. You seem to want that. If that's okay, then—
NDP
Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC
So you're amending my motion to strike out what I am saying, to have a study with a report, two meetings with witnesses to be determined by the parties with a report, with recommendations to be reported to the House. Do I understand that?
You're amending my motion, then?

Perhaps we could have what we have here read back by the analyst.

I can take a crack at it, but we're trying to identify what standing order it was. I think we're waiting on the clerk for that, but it would be to the effect, pursuant to Standing Order X, that the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health pursue a study with another two additional meetings with witnesses to be determined by the parties, and that a report be issued with recommendations to the House.
